Maybe just poor reporting showing a bottle of red wine but what wines are they talking about? BBC News - Two glasses of wine enough to hit daily sugar limit https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-60390314

If by "medium cup" you mean a normal tea cup size, then a third of a cup of double cream would be about 300kcal. which seems a lot for a drink.

Thanks for that, lots of interesting information which will take me a long time to study properly. I did note in a quick scan that amino acids and fatty acids also result in an increase in Insulin but I haven't had time to find out why.

As a reader doesn't take photographs or communicate with anyone outside the courtroom I would assume that is ok, however it would be wise to make its presence known to avoid any misunderstanding.

Phones are allowed in the court building but not in the actual courtroom even if turned off.

I thought it was the "gold standard" but too complex for normal insulin measurement. In human clinical trials, manual glucose clamps as well as the more modern method of automated glucose clamp find common use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_clamp_technique

In those days I imagine that +/-15% would have seemed impossibly accurate.

Without calculations and accurate records it's difficult to say, maybe @Ronancastled has enough information. In my case I gave up biscuits, cakes, desserts and pastry amongst other things and these contain fat as well as carbs, so I don't think I really eat much more fat and protein than I used...

People who lose weight when adopting a low carb diet often say "I eat more calories than I used to" as a proof that calories don't matter. Judging from some of the previous diets above, I find it difficult to believe there hasn't been a reduction in calories as well as carbs. If, for example...

Try black beans instead, they are lower carb.

Edited to add: It is the tip of the strip you are dipping in the blood drop I suppose?

Most strips I have used have a little window. As long as that window fills with blood when drawn up from the tip it should be enough. My TEE2+ meter only needs a drop the size of a pinhead.

You should have a diabetic retinopathy eye test, it is done by a special eye clinic or possibly an optician, not by a GP.

Not necessarily, we have both types of kebab. The good ones and the not so good....

It will tell you on the leaflet in the packet or you can ask the pharmacist when you collect them.

They examine the photos on a very large high resolution monitor. Tiny imperfections that might possibly be background retinopathy are visible, so some judgement by the operator is necessary. Bear in mind the statement in the letter that accompanies the result. "You do not need treatment at this...

I had yes, no, yes, no, no, no to background retinopathy in successive tests. The technician told me that the test is very sensitive and it comes down to the judgement of the person examining the photos in marginal cases.

It's not only about time. Even if you fast, what you eat, and how much you eat during the non fasting time is still important, probably more so.

I would have Diet Coke, with ice and a lemon slice to make it look better. Beware Fevertree tonic, the low sugar version isn't.

If things are coming into the UK the paperwork and border checks would be ours.
